military personnel (almost all the male population of Armenia as military service
is mandatory for all the male citizens over 18 years old.)

military personnel, new and old conscripts and those who have been hired on
contractual basis. The project while meeting it’s goals will be beneficial for
entire population of the country, as
improvements in the army , transparency and openness will impact on change of
attitudes in entire country : on issues of security, image of enemy, use of
hard security as predicament to silence
opponents of current violations of human rights of military
personnel.
